I totally agree. We all 'want to know about it' - you bet, and that certainly is the sign of a good author, but we know we can't. Take those teasing words at the close of PM:
Not with the Swallows coming, and Uncle Jim, and five whole weeks of the holiday still to go.
Wouldn't we all love to know what happened next? In fact we could all fill Tarboard several times over with imaginary plots. But what would be the point? For me, the 'not knowing' is part of the poignant magic of AR.
